Educational, Social and Biological Farm

From 2016, Baroncini's Farm has become an educational farm, a system where it performs welcoming and training activity of school groups, during which it is given children the opportunity to know company and rural activities.

We introduced some educational trainings, which aim to deepen a specific aspect of productive cycle of farm. They concern with Agrigelateria and are aimed to show children production systems, from which the ecologically sustainable agricolture and love for animals were born, thanks to a unique artisanal process.
